Bookkeeping for realtors and independent contractors.
Commission income lands in lumps, expenses are personal and business mixed together, and tax season becomes a scramble. We separate it properly so your deductions are defensible and you always know what's set aside for CRA.
Sound familiar?
These are the things we see most often in realtors and independent contractors books before we take them over.
- Commission deposits arriving net of brokerage splits and fees
- Personal and business spending on the same card
- Vehicle kilometres never logged, so the claim can't be supported
- Home-office claim either skipped or wildly overstated
- GST registration triggered without anyone noticing
- No idea how much tax to set aside until the bill arrives

How we run your file
We start by drawing a clean line between personal and business, then keep it there each month. You get a running picture of income, deductible costs and roughly what's owed — so nothing is a surprise in April.
Everything runs in QuickBooks Online or Xero, remotely. Snap a receipt, forward an invoice, and we take it from there.
What it costs
Flat monthly fees from $175, set after a quick look at your volume — no hourly surprises and no lock-in contract.
